If you need to know what packages are installed or how many packages are installed group of apps on your Red Hat Linux box use RPM to query the database.

Say you want to know what packages for PHP are installed on your machine but you only know the PHP package. Type in this command to list all packages with PHP that are installed on your Linux box:

rpm -qa |grep PHP

This will return all packages that have PHP in the name.
